Mmhh. These are all mandatory rules to release as a proper Apache project, which the Incubation is to teach to the podlings. So I don't think it would be helpful or possible to relax those rules. Knowing how to do proper releases is considered by many the main exiting criteria. > Is there any other podlings that are suffering from release procedures? I'm sure there are. > WDYT? I don't know your particular project's situation, but here are some suggestions to streamline the release process: + Get more mentors onboard, which really care for your project and provide prompt feedback. + Set a deadline for the vote (a vote must run for at least 72 hours, longer is ok.) + Send a reminder 1 day before the vote runs out HTH, Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
